    @Tetters you need to get ziggy working on straightening out the flowers on the Persicaria :heehee:

    We lost a whole area of V. Bonariensis during the winter (very unusual for us) but other areas weren't touched at all.

    I've just spotted a snail on the alliums :doh: can't be bothered to go back out and get rid of it!

    This flower is getting antsy :snorky: I can spot eight of them!

    Shoo-fly plant (sounds better than Nicandra physalodes) has survived the frosts

    A lovely poppy that does well this time of year

            @shiney Do those seedpods belong to Colutea arborescens (bladder senna) ? If so, please could you save some seed for me :wub2:

                @Tetters they're Paeonia lutea var. ludlowii AKA Paeonia delavayi var. ludlowii.

                Yellow tree peony
                [​IMG]

                The single petalled variety. Leaves are more attractive than the other tree peonies
                [​IMG]

                you're welcome to some seeds.

                I seem to remember Ziggy taking a photo of some when he was working at the NT. Our grows about 6' - 7' high.

                  Lovely, thank you. I did wonder about the leaves, and thought it possible they belonged to another nearby plant :rolleyespink:

                      Took some photos of other stuff that is in flower or berry at the moment including my Peace rose:biggrin:

                      The pink and the white Mallows are I am sure growing on the same plant so have been saving seed from them to see if I can grow them on next year and will see if I am correct:dancy:
